hope it works out dog.

is this contractor for the new house just way behind? or did he leave town on you?

if he is just way behind, make sure you save every single receipt you are generating because of this. he can probably be held responsible for these expenses in civil court.

good luck to you folks

Oh my God! It took you 2.5 years to get into your new house? That's unreal. I do have a closing date of Aug. 12 - I make the assumption that it means 2005.

Thythe, Welcome to Hell.

No, really, I love the place, just want my own home again. Hope you enjoy the area.

A buddy of mine ended up moving in about 15 months after he was supposed to, due to (among other things) construction crews using his lot as the place for all the extra dirt from all the other lots while they were building.

It is a rare contractor whose word means much, and you are pretty much at their mercy.

Amen to this statement. I've used a few for construction, renovations, etc. and I have yet to find one I would rehire.
From now on everything has a completion clause.

Sounds like you need to get the two week garantee in writing and start charging for each day late to cover the extra costs you have incurred as a result of your home. Something to consider.

Received from Thythe today:

May 2nd: Just moved to Arizona! Now this is a state that knows how to live!!
Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! It is beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.

May 14th: Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper.

May 30th: Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing lawn for me.
Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

June 10th: The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer than I expected.

June 15th: Fell asleep by the community pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body). Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.

June 20th: I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon.
The car now smells like Kibbles and shits. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat. Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.

June 25th: The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.

June 30th: Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now, $225,000 house and I can't even go inside. Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever come here?

July 4th: It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.

July 8th: If another wise ass cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to strangle him. Damn heat. By the time I get to work, the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!

July 9th: Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when I sat on the seats in the car, I thought my ass was on fire. My skin melted to the seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs
and ass . . Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat.

July 10th: The weather report might as well be a damn recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do [censored] for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.
Doesn't it ever rain in this damn desert? Water rationing will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't live in this damn heat.

July 14th: Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus are dead.
Forgot to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you today?" My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail. Freaking Arizona. What kind of
a sick demented idiot would want to live here?? Will write later to let you know how the trial goes.

[CaptSensible]

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Your leasing agent said "I forgot to tell you..." Forgot? FORGOT?!!? Can you sue her for all your expenses due to her lack of memory?
I would have gone ape poop! FORGOT???? I swear, I just will never understand some people.

Good luck with your house building. I wish you and your wife all the best in your new home [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
